Figure 1-3. Fiber Optic Transport with Diversity and Without WDM Module
The
optical
wavelengths
used
in
the
system
are
1550
nm
for
the
forward
path
and
1310
nm
for
the
reverse
path.
Because
different
wavelengths
are
used
for
the
forward
and
reverse
paths,
a
pair
of
bi-directional
wavelength
division
multiplexers
(WDM)
may
be
used
in
applications
where
it
is
desirable
to
combine
the
forward
path
and
reverse
path
optical
signals
on
a
single
fiber
link.
One
WDM
may
be
mounted
with
the
HU
and
the
other
WDM
mounted
with
the
RU.
A
diagram
of
a
fiber
optic
transport
system
with
a
WDM
application
is
shown
in
Figure 1-4.
The
WDMs
are
available
as
accessory
items.
